Let me say that I love Disk'O rides, they are so smooth! :D

Six Flags St. Louis has made their ride announcement for 2017, and they???re adding Spinsanity, a Zamperla Mega Disk???O to the park next season.

Spinsanity brings a different thrill to the park as the massive disc spins first one direction and then another while spinning from side to side. Forty guests sit on motorcycle-style seats facing outward as the disc flies along the 51-foot high half-pipe track all while whirling around at 14 revolutions per minute. The innovative attraction is the first-of-its-kind at the park.

According to ride manfacturer Zamperla, ???The new DISK???O seat is unlike anything in the industry, as it positions riders on a motorcycle-like pedestal seat facing outward. This new style seat maximizes the visual impact for onlookers and the 24 or 40 riders as they experience the rush of the MEGA DISK???O.???



???We continue to give our guests more and more unique thrills at Six Flags St. Louis??? said Pete Carmichael, park president. ???The multi-directional movement of the ride combined with the innovative seating design makes Spinsanity a must experience ride.???

Spinsanity Fast Facts:

40 riders are seated on motorcycle-style, pedestal seats facing outward;
Giant disc rotates clockwise and counter-clockwise while arcing side to side;
Half-pipe track structure stands 5-story???s tall; and
Rotates at 14 revolutions per minute

Image

Riders must be a minimum of 48??? tall to experience this innovative new thrill ride which will be located across from Tsunami Soaker in the Chouteau???s Market section of the park. Spinsanity is set to open spring 2017.

This is the fourth Six Flags park to receive an attraction with the Spinsanity moniker, but the first Spinanity that is a Zamperla Mega Disk???o.

Six Flags Over Georgia (Tilt-A-Whirl) and Six Flags Over Texas (Huss Troika) each added Harley Quinn Spinsanity last year, while Six Flags Fiesta Texas added their own Spinsanity (Tilt-A-Whirl). Six Flags Fiesta Texas also added their own Zamperla Mega Disk???O, Hurricane Force 5 in 2016, part of three new flat rides at the park this past season.

These rides might be smooth, but the restraints are horrible.

If you don't position yourself right they sometimes hurt. I wish more parks would go for the bigger option with the hill though.

I haven't ridden a disko since I was like eight, and those restraints were absolutely horrid. Felt like you couldn't breath the entire ride.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

They may be able to make those ends more steeper! :)
